• Recent EU Clinical Trials: Open, Randomised Phase II Study Assessing The Toxicity And Efficacy Of Platinum-Based Chemotherapy With Vitamin Supplementation In The Treatment Of Lung Cancer
• Structure and Mechanisms: Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin with a complex structure. Its assimilation and transportation mechanisms involve three main proteins: intrinsic factor (IF), haptocorrin (HC), and transcobalamin (TC), along with their respective membrane receptors.
• Clinical Manifestations of Deficiency: B12 deficiency due to malabsorption can lead to various clinical symptoms, including hematological manifestations such as macrocytosis and megaloblastic anemia, central and peripheral neurological disorders, psychiatric disorders, and thromboembolic outcomes.
• Causes of Deficiency: Causes of B12 deficiency include malabsorption, defects in cellular delivery and uptake, and limited dietary intake. Disruption of B12-dependent reactions like the cytosolic methionine synthase reaction and mitochondrial methymalonyl CoA mutase reaction can lead to deficiency.
• Prevalence and Consequences: B12 deficiency is widespread across all age groups, especially in populations facing food insecurity. The consequences of deficiency can affect major organ systems including the blood, bone marrow, and nervous system, leading to conditions like megaloblastic anemia, nervous system disorders, cognitive impairment, and psychosis.
• Metabolic Roles and Health Implications: Vitamin B12 plays crucial metabolic roles throughout life, especially during pregnancy and early development. Evidence links B12 deficiency with increased risk of various neuro, vascular, immune, and inflammatory disorders.
• Unique Properties and Pathways: B12 has unique properties including a complex absorption and assimilation pathway requiring intact gastric and terminal small intestinal function, an enterohepatic pathway, and specific binding proteins and chaperones.
• Sources and Synthesis: B12 is synthesized only by microorganisms like bacteria, yeasts, and possibly some algae. Ruminant herbivores and certain monogastric animals host these bacteria in their intestines, explaining why they don't develop B12 deficiency despite lacking it in their food intake.
